In this paper, we firstly determine all trees with λ2(G)⩾1−63. Then we classify such trees into six classes C1,…,C6 and prove that λ2(Ti)>λ2(Tj) for 1⩽i<j⩽6, where Ti∈Ci and Tj∈Cj. At the same time, the values of the normalized algebraic connectivity for the six classes of trees are provided, respectively. These results are similar to those on the algebraic connectivity which were obtained by Yuan et al. (2008) [8].

Cvetkovic called the study of the adjacency matrix the A-spectral theory, and the study of the signless Laplacian{the Q-spectral theory. To track the gradual change of A(G) into Q(G), in this paper it is suggested to study the convex linear combinations A_ (G) of A(G) and D(G) defined by A? (G) := ?D(G) + (1 - ?)A(G), 0 ? ? ? 1. This study sheds new light on A(G) and Q(G), and yields, in particular, a novel spectral Tur?n theorem. A number of open problems are discussed.

The Laplacian matrix $L(G) = D(G) - A(G)$ is the difference of the diagonal matrix of vertex degrees and the 0-1 adjacency matrix. Various aspects of the spectrum of $L(G)$ are investigated. Particular attention is given to multiplicities of integer eigenvalues and to the effect on the spectrum of various modifications of G.

Denote by $D( G )$ the diagonal matrix of its vertex degrees and by $A( G )$ its adjacency matrix. Then $L( G ) = D( G ) - A( G )$ is the Laplacian matrix of G. The first section of this paper is devoted to properties of Laplacian integral graphs, those for which the Laplacian spectrum consists entirely of integers. The second section relates the degree sequence and the Laplacian spectrum through majorization. The third section introduces the notion of a d-cluster, using it to bound the multiplicity of d in the spectrum of $L( G )$.

We define the Laplacian matrix of G,Δ(G)by Δij= degree of vertex i and Δij−1 if there is an edge between vertex i and vertex j. In this paper we relate the structure of the graph G to the eigenvalues of A(G): in particular we prove that all the eigenvalues of Δ(G) are non-negative, less than or equal to the number of vertices, and less than or equal to twice the maximum vertex degree. Precise conditions for equality are given.
Given a graph G, the normalized Laplacian associated with the graph G, denoted ${\cal L}$(G), was introduced by F. R. K.

Chung and has been intensively studied in the last 10 years. For a k-regular graph G, the normalized Laplacian ${\cal L}$ (G) and the standard Laplacian matrix L(G) satisfy L(G) = k {\cal L} (G), and hence they have the same eigenvectors and their eigenvalues are directly related. However, for an irregular graph G, ${\cal L} (G) and L(G) behave quite differently, and the normalized Laplacian seems to be more natural. In this paper, Cauchy interlacing-type properties of the normalized Laplacian are investigated, and the following result is established. Let G be a graph, and let H = G - e, where e is an edge of G. Let $\lambda_1\geq \lambda_2 \geq \cdots \geq \lambda_{n}=0$ be the eigenvalues of ${\cal L}(G)$, and let $\theta_1\geq \theta_2 \geq \cdots \geq \theta_{n}$ be the eigenvalues of ${\cal L}(H)$. Then, $\lambda_{k-1} \geq \theta_{k}\geq \lambda_{k+1}$ for each k = 1, 2, 3, \dots, n, where $\lambda_{0} =2$ and $\lambda_{n+1}=0$. Applications are given for eigenvalues of graphs obtained from special graphs by adding or deleting a few edges. A short proof is given of the result that G is a graph with each component a nontrivial bipartite graph if and only if $2-\lambda$ is an eigenvalue of ${\cal L}(G)$ for each eigenvalue $\lambda$ of ${\cal L }(G)$.
The harmonic index of a graph $G$ is defined as the sum of weights $\frac{2}{d(v_i)+d(v_j)}$ of all edges $v_iv_j$ of $G$, where $d(v_i)$ denotes the degree of the vertex $v_i$ … The harmonic index of a graph $G$ is defined as the sum of weights $\frac{2}{d(v_i)+d(v_j)}$ of all edges $v_iv_j$ of $G$, where $d(v_i)$ denotes the degree of the vertex $v_i$ in $G$. In this paper, we study how the harmonic index behaves when the graph is under perturbations. These results are used to provide a simpler method for determining the unicyclic graphs with maximum and minimum harmonic index among all unicyclic graphs, respectively. Moreover, a lower bound for harmonic index is also obtained.

In this paper, we provide a sufficient condition for the existence of a $k$-tree in a connected graph with fixed order in terms of the adjacency spectral radius and the signless Laplacian spectral radius, respectively. Also, we give a similar condition for the existence of a perfect matching in a balanced bipartite graph with fixed order and minimum degree.

In this paper, we give a sharp lower bound on the harmonic index of trees with a perfect matching in terms of the number of vertices. A sharp lower bound on the harmonic index of trees with a given size of matching is also obtained.

We also give upper bounds for the sum of the largest Laplacian eigenvalues for graphs satisfying certain properties: those that contain a path or a cycle of a given size, graphs with a given matching number and graphs with a given maximum degree. Then we provide conditions for which these upper bounds are better than the previous known results.
